The ArcGIS Online for Emergency Management solution allows emergency management organizations to use the entire platform to collaborate, catalog, and share maps and applications with members of your organization, other emergency management organizations or constituents of your state. You will utilize this model organization to set up an ArcGIS Online for your emergency management organization.

Additionally, ArcGIS Online for Emergency Management is used by organizations to lay the foundation for creating a collaboration pattern across emergency management organizations, establishing a pattern for each emergency management organization to use the platform and fosters sharing and collaboration across each pattern.

The model organization will show you how to:

• Configure ArcGIS Online as a mapping platform for your organization.
• Create groups that support the sharing and functional needs of your organization.
• Organize map services, author maps, and configure apps for both your internal and external end users.
• Leverage ArcGIS Solutions for Emergency Management to create and deploy useful maps and apps in your organization.
• Invite users into your organization to fill key roles in your online GIS system.
• Configure your organization's home page

Your specific configuration may vary depending on the functional responsibilities of your emergency management organization(s) and the maturity of your ArcGIS implementation.
